12998	Will you come upstairs? 12998 Wo n''t you come in too?"
12998	Wo n''t you shake hands, Uncle Joshua?
12998	Would you mind telling me, Judge Keane, please,said Lucy timidly,"where Newhaven lies from here, and how far it is?"
12998	Yes;--will you make room for me, Lucy?
12998	You are fond of painting, I think?
12998	You lived in Newhaven, I think, did n''t you?
12998	You will not forget me altogether, Tom?
12998	You''ve heard tell, I reckon,said Miss Hepsy,"of our sister Hetty as married the schoolmaster in Newhaven?"
12998	Your folks all well, Miss Goldthwaite?
12998	Air you going to stand there all night?
12998	Anything in Tom''s letter ye have n''t told me?"
12998	Are n''t you very fond of him?"
12998	Are you angry because I''m going to be sick, Aunt Hepsy?
12998	Are you doing altogether right, Frank, I wonder, in taking it off his hands?"
12998	Are you glad, Lucy?"
12998	But would it be right to leave my uncle and aunt?"
12998	Can I see Tom?"
12998	Could n''t you do without Keziah, and that would square expenses?"
12998	Could you not bring the children to see me some day?"
12998	Do n''t you feed him ever, Uncle Josh?"
12998	Do you enjoy it?"
12998	Do you feel well enough?"
12998	Do you remember what I said about this joy coming in God''s good time?"
12998	Do you think you could go through it?"
12998	Do you understand?"
12998	Do you?"
12998	Does he say anything about coming home soon?"
12998	Even shy Lucy was at her ease immediately with Miss Carrie; for who could resist that bright, caressing manner, and those beaming, loving eyes?
12998	Everybody grows up and marries, and goes to Europe, and dies after a bit; that''s about what life amounts to-- not much, is it?"
12998	For what did Tom''s departure mean for her?
12998	Gair?"
12998	Gair?"
12998	Goldthwaite?"
12998	Has she been worrying you?"
12998	Her lips moved, and he bent down to catch the faintly murmured words,--"Have I been sick a long time?
12998	How do you like this work?"
12998	I do n''t approve of eating''tween meals.--I guess you never did any of this kind o''work, Lucy?"
12998	I may say yes, I suppose?"
12998	I thought you would like to see your sister, but if I am mistaken--""I do want to go, sir; I would give the world almost to see her-- but--""Well?"
12998	I wish you''d come up and do the kittens; wo n''t you?
12998	Is n''t it fun though?"
12998	Is n''t she just splendid?"
12998	Is''t to be immediately?"
12998	Is''t true, Lucy?"
12998	Keane?"
12998	May I have a day or two to think of it, Carrie?"
12998	May I try?"
12998	May n''t we have it now?"
12998	Mopsy, or Ted, or Silver Tail could do just as well, I believe.--Tom, wo n''t you draw me a picture of my very own to keep?
12998	Now, sir, will ye be so kind as to see to things at Hetty''s, an''fetch the children with you when ye come back?
12998	Shall I tell him of that sweet blush?
12998	She heard a noise at the door, and said, without looking round,"Are you dressed already, Miss Carrie?
12998	She rose, and sitting down beside her, put her arm about her, and whispered gently,--"My poor child, what is it?"
12998	She turned to remark upon it to Alice, when a hand touched her arm, and Tom''s voice said eagerly,"Will you skate with me, Miss Goldthwaite?
12998	Show us the way out, will you, Tom?
12998	Suppose you and I make tea: do you think we could manage it between us?"
12998	Was_ that_ the far parlour?
12998	We shall not remember these sad hours then, shall we, Lucy?
12998	We''d better go round now, I think; perhaps they''ll want to be going.--I''m glad it''s a fine day; are n''t you, Tom?"
12998	What have ye fed on?"
12998	What will Aunt Hepsy say?"
12998	What will Josh say to this?
12998	What''s her fine scholar done for her now, I wonder?
12998	Who''d''a thought to see you, Tom, all the way from Philadelphia?"
12998	Why, Tom, if everybody gave up at the first stumble, what would become of the world, do you think?
12998	Why, whatever will you_ do_?"
12998	Will you come?"
12998	Will you let me keep this?
12998	Will you let them come?"
12998	Will you like it?"
12998	Wo n''t you come in?"
12998	Wonder what Josh''ll say?"
12998	Would n''t you have laughed too?"
12998	Would you have any objections to me putting him in the way of life to which his desire and talent point him?"
12998	You''ll be willin''to learn, I hope?"
12998	why did mamma die?
33997	And wo n''t it be good when we are all dry and in front of the fire and you have your pipe and I''m making toast?
33997	Are n''t you glad I took you for ducks?
33997	Are n''t you going to leave it for the bees?
33997	But different?
33997	But how can I move? 33997 Can we find our way out again?"
33997	Can you get off?
33997	Cold? 33997 Cold?"
33997	Could n''t you wait until we come back?
33997	Did we think it was cold?
33997	Did you make that up as you went along, Jonathan?
33997	Did you think I was never coming?
33997	Did you? 33997 Do n''t you think I could plant my cosmos and asters now?"
33997	Do n''t you think it''s rather poor weather for walking?
33997	Do you mean mine?
33997	Do you think you''d better take the cow down this morning?
33997	Do you want me to help?
33997	Does n''t that look good?
33997	Got what?
33997	Half- past ten,I said gently; and added,"What are you going to do with her now?"
33997	Has n''t she brought anybody yet? 33997 Have you seem them to- day, Nellie?"
33997	How about the huckleberry patch? 33997 How did you stop her?"
33997	How do you know? 33997 How long have you been out here?"
33997	How much?
33997	How''d you get out so early?
33997	I suppose it all comes down to the simple question, What is the farm for?
33997	I''m not; but do n''t you remember about the phlox? 33997 Is it a private myth of mine that you shot those two woodcock in the birches of the upper farm last year?
33997	Is it?
33997	Is n''t that true of almost everything?
33997	Jonathan,I said over our coffee,"have you noticed the weather to- day?"
33997	Jonathan,I said that night,"I thought you liked pies?"
33997	My dear,he remarked, still in the same tone,"had you noticed that it is beginning to rain?"
33997	Now really, away down deep, have n''t you yourself a sneaking desire for-- oh, for crops, and for having things look shipshape, as you call it? 33997 Pretty little chap, is n''t he?"
33997	Really?
33997	See that bunch of red barns with a white house?
33997	See?
33997	Should n''t you think she must have had enough?
33997	So you dug them up?
33997	Sweet alyssum?
33997	Then why did n''t you shoot when he ran?
33997	Then why in thunder do you plant them?
33997	Then you do admit it''s a cool morning?
33997	Then you got some?
33997	Think not?
33997	Well, ca n''t I come home for pleasure too?
33997	Well, shall it be the swamp?
33997	Well, then,he brightened;"say five?"
33997	Well, what do you like in them?
33997	Well, what''s the matter with it?
33997	Well,said Jonathan,"woods or open?"
33997	Well?
33997	Well?
33997	Were you?
33997	What about it?
33997	What about them?
33997	What are you doing, Jonathan?
33997	What are you lying down for?
33997	What bottle?
33997	What do you have to see?
33997	What do you hear?
33997	What do you want sweet alyssum for? 33997 What hour shall it be?"
33997	What is it?
33997	What is it?--and who was he?
33997	What of it? 33997 What''ll we live on if we do n''t?"
33997	What''s that? 33997 What''s that?"
33997	What''s that?
33997	What''s the joke?
33997	What''s the matter with potatoes?
33997	What''s the use? 33997 What''s''oh, dear''?"
33997	Where are you taking her?
33997	Where are you?
33997	Where do you suppose I found it?
33997	Where to?
33997	Where''s the bottle?
33997	Which is the wettest?
33997	Who got the mail?
33997	Why did n''t you shoot him?
33997	Why not?
33997	Why, Jonathan,I gasped,"what_ have_ you been doing with that cow?"
33997	Why, why, my dear, what''s this?
33997	Why?
33997	Will she come back?
33997	Yellow- top?
33997	You do n''t suppose Henry will cut them down for weeds when they come up, do you?
33997	*****_ Br- r- r- r- r- r- r- r!_ What_ has_ happened?
33997	Add fifteen minutes to that for breakfast, and fifteen minutes to dress-- would a quarter to four be too outrageous?"
33997	All at once it ceased to be interesting, and became a personal grievance-- against the wind?
33997	And after this, Jonathan, when you hear a team coming, why do n''t you stop carving till it goes by?"
33997	And again winter says:"Did you think the world was brown and white?
33997	And all for the sake of seeing-- what?
33997	And always there is the same conversation:"Well, what about church?"
33997	And is any one who has once given way to them proof against the seductions of those catalogues?
33997	And this time-- Did I think I knew the marsh?
33997	And what''s the use?
33997	As he folded back the green cover of our mileage book he could not forbear remarking, quizzically,"Know how far you''re goin''to- night?"
33997	At once we fall to discussing the vital question-- Where will the birds be to- day?
33997	But do tell me, how did you_ ever_ get around here again from the back of the farm that way?"
33997	But how can we love our neighbor if we do not pay some attention to him-- him and his horse and his cart and all that is his?
33997	But if she had been born in New England do you suppose her day would have been what it was?
33997	But is n''t the world full of asters, anyway, in September and October, without your planting any more?"
33997	But it was interesting to explore new brooks, and as we never failed to get enough trout for at least one meal a day, what more could we wish?
33997	But one night Jonathan said, carelessly,"Why do you pull them all the way down?"
33997	But why does anybody grow them?
33997	But-- comfortable?
33997	But--"Alas, alas, repentance oft before I swore-- but was I sober when I swore?
33997	By the way, what was it you said about fools?"
33997	Can you see better now?"
33997	Could it be the same road that a few hours before had been so cold and gray and still?
33997	Could n''t you see that to look at me?"
33997	Could there be a better place?
33997	Did I suppose, having seen it at dawn in the fall days when the sun still rises early, having seen it in winter twilight, fog- beset, that I knew it?
33997	Did any one ever see a hen really find a worm?
33997	Did n''t I tell you about that?
33997	Did they remember Durance Vile?
33997	Did you know they gave you some asters?
33997	Did you see?"
33997	Do I suppose I know it now?
33997	Do n''t you love those French- blue ones?"
33997	Do n''t you wish you could look like that when you''re forty?"
33997	Do you remember Jack Mason when he was married?
33997	Does anything sound prettier than the whir and click of the reel as one pulls out the line for the first time on an April day?
33997	Does it make them sick?"
33997	Finally I called out,"What''s the matter?"
33997	For how could I be blind to the fact that chance had thrust a weapon into my hand?
33997	From what old garden had it come?
33997	Get any?"
33997	Have I put your Mizpah back right?"
33997	Have you felt the sunshine?
33997	Have you smelt the spring mud?
33997	He looked up too late, hesitated, then said, rather consciously:"Who was that?
33997	Head her round, will you, Bill?
33997	How long should I have to wait till they began to come up?
33997	I murmured;"or windy?"
33997	I sighed;"is n''t it wonderful?
33997	I stopped at a friendly door one day to ask,"Have Phil and Jimmy gone by?
33997	I''m not a duck.... Why, of course, if you really want me to, I''ll go, only.... All right, I''ll get out the things.... Three o''clock train?
33997	If it is the flowing sap in all trees, why are not the spring woods full of it?
33997	Is he not of more value than many grosbeaks?
33997	Is it a breath of the migrating instinct that makes us want to be off and away, to go, and go, and go?
33997	Is it a subtle self- gratification, which seeks to add zest, tone, to our delights by postponing them?
33997	Is it an inherited asceticism, bidding us beware of pleasure as such?
33997	Is it fear of anticlimax, which makes us save our pleasure for the last thing, that there may be no descent afterward?
33997	Is it pride, which will not permit us to make unseemly haste toward our desires?
33997	Is it rabbits, or ghosts?
33997	Is that all you''ve just brought along?"
33997	Jonathan called across softly,"Shot both barrels, did n''t you?"
33997	Jonathan leaned back, puffing comfortably--"Now, what in thunder do you mean by style?"
33997	Jonathan looked across the luncheon table and said,"What about ducks?"
33997	Jonathan straightened up, but there was a trace of the apologetic in his tone as he said,"That''ll do, wo n''t it?"
33997	Jonathan, pausing to hold back a dripping spray of blackberry, heavy with fruit, remarked,"Are n''t you getting a little damp?"
33997	Jonathan, trying to be obliging against his better judgment, suggested,"Well-- six o''clock?"
33997	Jonathan, what would you have done?"
33997	Now what_ are_ you laughing at?
33997	Now, Jonathan, are n''t you silly, really?
33997	Now, have n''t you?"
33997	Of course other people''s seeds came up, but would mine?
33997	On this evening winter said:"Gray?
33997	One is conscious of being useful-- for what more useful than the accumulating of berries for pies?
33997	Only why do people have magenta sweet peas with red ones and pink ones-- that special pink?
33997	Recoil from it?
33997	She thought I might like some from her garden-- she has such lovely larkspurs, do n''t you remember?
33997	Sweet alyssum and pansy?"
33997	The orchard is old; why not leave it to dream and rest and dream again?
33997	Trout?
33997	Walk?"
33997	Was he trying to cheer it by pleasant looks, I wondered, or was he just trying to see all that went by?
33997	Was that a mistake, too?"
33997	Were these bare white houses the same that had nestled so cozily into the dark of the roadside?
33997	What are they?
33997	What associations and memories did it bring out of the past?
33997	What do you want of borders?"
33997	What is the motive force here?
33997	What then?
33997	What time is it?"
33997	What was that?
33997	What was that?
33997	What, then, shall we call it?
33997	What?
33997	When a man builds a house, what does he do?
33997	Where shall we put the setters?"
33997	Where_ are_ we going, my dear?"
33997	Where_ was_ Jonathan?
33997	Why ca n''t you do the same things and leave the gun at home?"
33997	Why can we not be like Pippa with her one precious day?
33997	Why could n''t I put in my seeds now?
33997	Why did n''t he come?
33997	Why do you just stand there looking like that?
33997	Why does it make one feel so immeasurably superior to get up a few hours before other people?
33997	Why maddening?
33997	Why not go further?
33997	Why not have them when most enjoyable?
33997	Why not take all our desserts in life when they taste best, instead of at the proper time, when we do n''t care for them?
33997	Why not?
33997	Why should we be elated that we can recognize a bluebird by his flight, and ashamed of knowing our neighbor''s old bay by his gait?
33997	Why, indeed, should we be ashamed of this human interest?
33997	Why, indeed?
33997	Wo n''t you_ please_ come here and tell me if these are young pansies or only plantain?
33997	Would n''t you have wanted to know?
33997	Would she have sprung up at daybreak with heart and mind all alight for pleasure?
33997	Would they come up?
33997	Would they not have been cut down years ago if any one had remembered them?
33997	XV Beyond the Realm of Weather Our friends say to us now and then,"But why must you do these things with a gun?
33997	You there?"
33997	_ Where_ is he?
33997	he philosophized; and added,"Is there much of it?"
33997	said Jonathan;"do n''t you care more about the pink lady- slipper than about your blooming little sweet alyssum?"
33997	see?"
33997	the ducks?
33997	we both call, and,"Did you get his line?"
33997	who cares whether we get on or not?"
34270	A little discourtesy, one way or the other, what would that matter?
34270	Ai n''t ye comin''in to set awhile, an''eat a cooky, Miss Barby?
34270	Ai n''t ye goin''to read it to me?
34270	All that distance since this morning?
34270	Allow you to ride back through these woods alone, my lady?
34270	Am I not going as your chosen cavalier? 34270 And how did you come off?"
34270	And the other chaps?
34270	And what are you doing, Robert? 34270 And what do you say, my lady?"
34270	And you seem like to get it, generally, if I do n''t mistake the cut of you,--eh, what?
34270	And you will really and truly forgive me?
34270	Are you all Tories, too?
34270	Are you at all acquainted with the river?
34270	Are you going to be so good to me? 34270 Are you not glad to see me-- to see an old friend out of the old days?"
34270	Are you sure I look fit to be seen with you, Uncle Bob?
34270	But I shall see you again soon, sha''n''t I, Robert?
34270	But are n''t you_ surprised_ to see me, Robert?
34270	But ca n''t I stay a_ little_ while_ now_,--while no one knows I am here at all?
34270	But do you know, Uncle Bob, if Robert is still in town?
34270	But how_ did_ you_ ever_ guess the right size, Uncle Bob?
34270	But now, you can tell a hawk from a handsaw, eh, baggage?
34270	But still I ask, of what especial, immediate interest to me?
34270	But the immediate point is, since you ca n''t go a- soldiering with your old uncle, what shall we do with you? 34270 But what can we do?
34270	But where?
34270	But who among our people can be so suicidal as to think of war?
34270	But, Barbara,he protested, blundering in his confusion,"do n''t you love me?
34270	But, seeing that he is Richard''s son, we''ll have to take him along with us as far as the Landing, eh, Jim?
34270	But-- how_ did_ you know the right size, Uncle Bob?
34270	Buy a horse like that, Robert, in three shakes of a ram''s tail? 34270 Ca n''t you try to love me, Barbara?"
34270	Did he go home?
34270	Did you ever have, dearie?
34270	Did you not promise you would obey me? 34270 Did you ride over, Robert?
34270	Do n''t you know, Robert,she went on, beguilingly,"that I_ could n''t possibly_ get along without you?
34270	Do n''t you think I might properly ride around and pay my respects to the ladies before I leave?
34270	Do you really mean to say that our people are beginning to attack the Tories, just because they think they ought to stick to old King George?
34270	Do you really think so?
34270	Do you think the wood spirits would let slip such an opportunity to carry off their queen? 34270 Have you been taking any of Jim Pigeon''s physic since I saw you?"
34270	How can I bear that you should be unhappy?
34270	How can you expect to understand the manner in which it concerns you, if you will not let any one tell you the story? 34270 How can you lie so shamelessly, John Pigeon?"
34270	How dare you kiss my niece without my leave?
34270	How did you ever find such a place?
34270	How did you get here-- to me?
34270	How far is it, Debby dear?
34270	How shall I bring it to you?
34270	How will Mistress Ladd receive me?
34270	I can trust you, ca n''t I?
34270	I''m_ sure_ it''s wholesome; and I_ know_ it''s_ desirable_,--isn''t it?
34270	Is it true, Mehitable? 34270 Is n''t it lovely we have found each other at last, Aunt Hitty?
34270	Is not Mistress Ladd a very harsh, tyrannical sort of woman?
34270	Is this the Robert that used to say he loved me a little?
34270	It''s not Cary Patten, then?
34270	Let the young people fight it out, eh, Jim?
34270	Me? 34270 Me?"
34270	Must you go to Westings Centre for a leader? 34270 No, but you''re sending, and equipping, and supporting two able- bodied substitutes, are n''t you?
34270	Oh, what shall I do?
34270	Oh, why did you do it, Debby dear?
34270	Really?
34270	Robert,she began, in a voice of thrilling persuasion,"wo n''t you do something I very much want you to do?"
34270	Tell me all about it, wo n''t you, please?
34270	Then, will you not_ really study_, without prejudice, the things that are at the bottom of the trouble between us and King George? 34270 There, Bob Glenowen,"he growled, as he straightened himself,"is that the proper civility to show a lady when she pokes out her foot at you?
34270	There, what did I tell you, John?
34270	They are perfectly dear,she agreed, without reservation,"Is n''t it splendid that they love us so, Aunt Hitty?"
34270	Through those woods-- through the rapids-- all alone?
34270	Uncle Bob not at Stratford?
34270	We will be friends, wo n''t we, king or no king?
34270	Well, mistress mine, how did you like it?
34270	Were we, dear lady?
34270	What are king or country, what are heaven and earth, to me, compared with you? 34270 What are two graceless old dogs like us, that the dear eyes of the fairest of their sex should shed tears on our account?
34270	What cock- and- bull story''s this? 34270 What did you do to him, child?"
34270	What do you mean, Robert?
34270	What do you mean, Uncle Bob?
34270	What do you mean?
34270	What do you mean?
34270	What is it, John?
34270	What is it, lady?
34270	What is it, my lady?
34270	What is your name?
34270	What matter about a''damned Tory''getting well?
34270	What on earth do you mean by being so crazy?
34270	What were you thinking of, so far, far away?
34270	What''s become of our little Barbara? 34270 What''s this stuff and nonsense about fighting?"
34270	What? 34270 What?"
34270	What?
34270	When will he return?
34270	When will you explain? 34270 Where does that road go, my lady?"
34270	Who knows what may happen?
34270	Who was it that whipped King John into submission, and made him sign Magna Charta? 34270 Whose fault is that?"
34270	Why are you leaving us here, Robert?
34270	Why did he go home, sweetheart, so soon after our coming?
34270	Why did you come out on that rickety thing?
34270	Why did you do that, Robert?
34270	Why do you go this way, Uncle Bob?
34270	Why have n''t you a boat or a canoe?
34270	Why not, dear heart?
34270	Why, how did you come?
34270	Why, how do you know me?
34270	Why, my lady?
34270	Why, where is he going?
34270	Wo n''t you let me? 34270 Would you mind very much if we sat somewhere and talked, instead of dancing?"
34270	Would you rather betray your country than your king? 34270 You insist on pinning me down to it, do you, saucy hussy?
34270	You love me just as much as you used to?
34270	You stiff- necked rebels may experience a change of heart, and then where''s your war?
34270	You still love me, Robert, after the hideous way I treated you?
34270	You''ll come over to Second Westings right away, wo n''t you, and meet Uncle Bob?
34270	_ Ca n''t_ you? 34270 _ Did_ Aunt Hitty_ really_ cry when she found I had gone away?
34270	_ Were n''t_ we?
34270	_ Why_ do you go?
34270	_ You_ love me, do n''t you, Debby dear?
34270	''I''ve got it, eh?''
34270	After all these years that I''ve kept silence,--oh, is it true?"
34270	Am I forgiven?"
34270	Am I not the most obedient of your slaves?"
34270	And I doubt not that our little mistress here will see to it that the invitation is forthcoming in good season,--eh, what?"
34270	And have I ever been really nice to him?"
34270	And how_ did_ you know which way I was going?"
34270	And is it true that poor Carberry is in a bad way?
34270	And now, have n''t I let you come this_ perfect_ ride with me,--when I know Aunt Hitty thought I ought n''t?
34270	And what does it matter to me about Bobby Gault, anyhow, so long as my little girl is happy?"
34270	And what is that ruffian doing here?"
34270	And you were going away without seeing me for good- bye?"
34270	Are you not ashamed to be instrumental in restoring a young lady to conditions where she has been made to suffer so cruelly?"
34270	At length she withdrew the hand with a soft laugh, saying, composedly:"There, do n''t you think that will do, Robert?
34270	But aloud he said, after a silence:"It is indeed most different, Barb, old girl?
34270	But are n''t you getting very wet there?
34270	But every one should know''Clarissa,''should n''t they, dear?"
34270	But if he were, what of it?
34270	But it''s not my fault if I''m not in love myself, is it?
34270	But what have_ you_ got to tell_ us_?
34270	But what would my love be worth to you if, for the sake of my own happiness, I could be a rebel and a traitor?
34270	But you must n''t let them prejudice you against Robert, honey,--but just wait and see what you think of him yourself, wo n''t you, please?"
34270	Could it be that she was possessed of a devil?
34270	Did n''t I ride almost half- way home with you, when you were here before?
34270	Did she really feel so badly about it?
34270	Do n''t I know your father''s son?
34270	Do you know what that means?"
34270	Do you think no one has feelings but yourself?"
34270	Do you?"
34270	Doctor John threw up both big, white hands in mock despair, and his sympathetic laugh said,"What do you expect?"
34270	Drop him, do you hear?"
34270	Eh, what?"
34270	Eh, what?"
34270	Eh, what?"
34270	Eh, what?"
34270	Eh-- what?"
34270	Forgetful of all else, she now laid her slim hand on his, looked at him with her whole soul in her eyes, and said:"_ Must_ you?
34270	Gault?"
34270	Going away?"
34270	Had she been quite fair to him?
34270	Had she encouraged him even while repelling him?
34270	Had she no spark of womanly tenderness?
34270	Had she really put the hands of time back five years?
34270	Have I changed much, Uncle Bob?"
34270	Have you chosen your side?"
34270	Have you not given me your favour?"
34270	How can I stand it?"
34270	How can I turn my back to you?"
34270	How could he know how bad and foolish I was?
34270	How many did you fight?
34270	I know it is none of my business,--but what does it mean?"
34270	I may take you, my queen, my beloved?"
34270	I suppose that is your_ dance_ of''Maryland Memories,''is it not?
34270	I would n''t be down on John for it, eh, what, Mehitable?"
34270	If a man sees it, he''s got to do it,--eh, what, dearest lady in the world?
34270	If all Americans were like you they''d deserve freedom, would n''t they?
34270	In a moment he leaned down close to her ear, and whispered:"What are you but a baby, after all,--a tired out, bad baby, sweetheart?
34270	In the parlour below, Doctor Jim had said, before leaving:"I think you are going to get a lot of comfort out of her now, Mehitable, eh, what?"
34270	Is it not becoming a little dangerous for you in New York now?"
34270	Is she within?"
34270	It is possible he may help make things pleasant for you, eh, you baggage?"
34270	It was on Barbara''s lips to ask,"How?--Why?"
34270	It''s hard enough to manage Barbara, I know, but to punish her, or talk to her of punishing, makes it harder still, eh, what?"
34270	Love me?
34270	May I hear all about it?
34270	Now, what have you to say for yourself?"
34270	Of sprightly wit, he is sometimes a merciless analyst, but he proves in the end that manhood counts for more than and?
34270	Oh, Jim, are you so sure you ought to go?"
34270	Oh, why did I like you?
34270	Or did you come in the canoe?"
34270	Or should I run away, eh, what?"
34270	Promise me not to quit the place while I''m gone?"
34270	Richard''s son!-- And his heart''s in the right place,--and his head, too,--eh, what?
34270	Shall we let these insolent scoundrels talk to us that way?"
34270	Shall we try new ways with this very difficult little maid, Hitty?"
34270	Should I be worthy to love you, despising myself?
34270	Sick near to death, hunted near to death, a beaten and fleeing enemy, a Tory?
34270	So Robert had fought for some woman, had he?
34270	The air became so tense with impending storm that people seemed to hold their breath, and when they met their eyes questioned,"Has it come?"
34270	Then he hesitated, and went on:"Really, Barbara, are you quite human?
34270	Then she said to herself,"What more natural?
34270	Then she turned half helplessly to her friends, as if to say,"What can I-- what ought I to do?"
34270	Then, quickly apprehensive, she added,"What makes you think I am Barbara Ladd?"
34270	There was talk of this, that, and the other, but most of the charms of a lady whom we know and reverence--""Who was she?"
34270	This boy pleased her, so why should she hesitate to show it?
34270	To be loyal to a good king, a king in the right, where was the distinguishing merit of that?
34270	Was he dismissed for the evening?
34270	Was it possible she could be so blind?
34270	Was it the riffraff or the gentry, I''d like to know?
34270	Was n''t it very nice of me,--when you do n''t one bit deserve any such attention?"
34270	Was the country made for the king?
34270	Was there a suspicion of criticism in all this?
34270	Washington?"
34270	We can promise that, ca n''t we?"
34270	We''ll see that Mistress Mehitable is not too hard on him,--eh, what?
34270	We''ll sow seeds of dissension presently,--eh, what?"
34270	What are we but the best of friends?
34270	What could it all mean?
34270	What do you do?
34270	What else_ could_ she do?
34270	What have you done to her, Mehitable?"
34270	What is Parliament to us, that we should bow down to it, when we have always had parliaments of our own?
34270	What was this bourgeois tyrant in England, that the price of loyalty to him should be the love of the woman who was dearer than heaven?
34270	What was this miracle?
34270	What were the Tories for, if not to afford them a chance of evening matters up?
34270	What''s a gentleman without loyalty?
34270	What''s a king?
34270	What''s sacred in Parliament?
34270	What''ve they been doin''to you over there?"
34270	When you think of it, will you try to remember me kindly as one who would ever be your most devoted, humble servant?"
34270	Whence came this understanding and this sympathy, all in a night?
34270	Where are Virginia''s aristocrats?"
34270	Where have my eyes been all this time?"
34270	Who cared for an eccentricity or two in a being so big of body and soul as Doctor Jim?
34270	Who is it-- you care more for?--Cary Patten?"
34270	Who would have thought it?
34270	Why did I trust you?
34270	Why must_ he_ pay so appalling a price for loyalty, for fidelity, for honour?
34270	Why should she not have her hand kissed, as well as Aunt Hitty?
34270	Why should_ he_ be called upon to face so hideous an alternative?
34270	Will you take me back to my seat, Mr. Waite?
34270	Wo n''t it?"
34270	Wo n''t we, dear?"
34270	Wo n''t you come into the canoe?"
34270	Would you ask me to be a coward?"
34270	Yet what have you done, Robert?
34270	You did not kiss Mrs. Sawyer''s hand like that, did you?"
34270	You see what John Pigeon''ll have to say about it, eh, what?"
34270	You''ll have trouble on your hands before you know what you''re about,--eh, what?"
34270	_ Ai n''t_ I got a head on my old shoulders, now, Miss Barby?"
34270	_ You_ love me?
34270	eh, what?"
34270	retorted Glenowen, musingly,"what is the baggage going to ask me for to- morrow?
34270	roared Doctor Jim,"what do you mean by coming in here and turning our girls''heads with your bold compliments and French night- rails?
34270	said Barbara, fixing him with a wide, level look,"what are you, Whig or Tory?
34270	she cried, gaily,"stealing in this way through the back premises?"
34270	she cried, laughing at his density,"do n''t you know yet how little_ I_ care for ceremony?
34270	she cried,"How can I ever thank you for being so lovely to me?
23738	A convent?
23738	A lady with bright fair hair, colored like copper- bronze?
23738	A-- man I know?
23738	Ah?
23738	All you have seen? 23738 Although, as to not holding you----""You fancy you hold me?
23738	Although, it is rather near a stalemate for us both, is n''t it?
23738	And abandon Desire Michell?
23738	And all the divorce courts, Phil? 23738 And do you think Rossetti had no truth to base his poem upon?"
23738	And the truth?
23738	And what may be the explanation?
23738	And you came back here?
23738	And you will come to the farm soon?
23738	And you yourself? 23738 And, Desire Michell?"
23738	And, did you like the sight?
23738	Anything going on so early?
23738	Are you asking me to believe in witchcraft and sorcery?
23738	Are you going to stay and hunt for the book tonight, then?
23738	Are you sure, then, that it is not all this cabaret glamour you really are in love with? 23738 Because he has worn the uniform, then; proved his courage in war at sea?
23738	Better than catnip, Bagheera?
23738	But how can you be sure?
23738	But how do you explain that Desire knew what I experienced with the Thing from the Barrier, if my experiences were merely delirious dreams?
23738	But what are you going to do with her, man?
23738	But what of me, Desire? 23738 But why?"
23738	But will you not trust me to make a light and give what help I can? 23738 But you will come again?"
23738	By what claim? 23738 By what right?"
23738	Can you ask me?
23738	Can you hear, Roger? 23738 Come, Phillida, you take my sane point of view, I hope?"
23738	Cousin Roger? 23738 Cousin Roger?
23738	Cousin Roger? 23738 Cousin?"
23738	Desire,I said,"why should you be a sufferer for the actions of a woman who died over two centuries ago?
23738	Desire?
23738	Desire?
23738	Did the runaway sister leave any children?
23738	Did you know that? 23738 Did you take notice of what I do here?"
23738	Do ghosts write?
23738	Do n''t you see yourself one little, little bit, Cousin?
23738	Do they, perhaps, have visitors there, ladies in retreat for a time, as convents often do abroad?
23738	Do you judge she will?
23738	Do you know of a lady who wears that scent?
23738	Do you mean that you want me to go away from this place?
23738	Do you mean to account by nightmare for the wide and repeated experiences that twice brought me to the verge of death? 23738 Do you remember the maxim we used to write in copybooks?
23738	Do you suppose they will_ do_ anything dreadful about us?
23738	Do you think that all the traditions and learning of the younger world meant-- nothing?
23738	Do you?
23738	Ethan, what was that?
23738	Ethan, what_ are_ you talking about?
23738	Expiation of what?
23738	For so little, you would brave the Dread One in Its time of triumph? 23738 Gone?"
23738	Good, Phil?
23738	Has it not been so with all who loved the daughters of my race these two centuries past? 23738 Have none of you young people ever considered the singular emanations from swamps and marshes where rotting vegetation underlies shallow water?
23738	Have we not met front to front these many nights? 23738 Have you spoken to such beings, Desire?"
23738	He left children?
23738	Here, Phillida?
23738	Here, after my warning, after last night?
23738	Here? 23738 How can there be wrong in facing a situation that I did not cause?"
23738	How can you know?
23738	How can you say that?
23738	How could you tell? 23738 How could you?"
23738	How did you happen to come in at this hour?
23738	How did you know I was-- ill?
23738	How do you know that, Desire?
23738	How much do you both trust me?
23738	How shall I answer you, Roger? 23738 How shall I make you understand?
23738	How should I have harmed him, who came not near him, as ye know? 23738 I can keep you, then?"
23738	I do not mean trust my character or my good intentions, but how much confidence have you in my sanity and commonsense? 23738 I, to take happiness like that?"
23738	I? 23738 If as you say, this creature was not meant to meet mankind, how can It come after me this way?"
23738	If he takes money to leave me?
23738	If you are like other men and women, how can you know what happens when you are absent? 23738 Is it distrusting you to ask you to marry me?"
23738	Is it not hard enough, my duty? 23738 Is it not victory to have driven back the Dark One?
23738	Is n''t it funny, though, that he never will go into your room? 23738 Is n''t it lucky you and Desire could not get started in the car, after all?
23738	Is not that an injury? 23738 Is that all?
23738	Is there any other way?
23738	It will come-- often?
23738	Jealousy? 23738 Little?
23738	Man, whenever man has summoned Evil since the youngest days of the world have I not answered? 23738 Man,"It spat,"would you see me?
23738	Me? 23738 Me?
23738	Might n''t you help the lady more if you went away now, and came back?
23738	Mr. Locke, can you swallow some of this?
23738	Mrs. Hill, did you ever hear of anyone named Desire Michell?
23738	Music?
23738	My hair pleased you?
23738	No baggage?
23738	No one at all like that-- with hair warmer in shade than ordinary gold color, and a lot of it?
23738	No one who might be able to tell more than yourself?
23738	No? 23738 No?
23738	No? 23738 Not as sweet as this?"
23738	Not even to believe that you will press the knife if I refuse to free you?
23738	Not try-- to see me, even?
23738	Not-- hurt----?
23738	Notice what kind of water this is, Mr. Locke? 23738 Now that it''s a decent hour, do n''t you think Cristina might give us some breakfast?"
23738	Now? 23738 Of what would you convince me?
23738	Of what? 23738 Or did Mrs. Hill vamp you and make roast meat of your heart with her eyes?"
23738	Or do you propose to shut her up in some third- class boarding house day and night while you hang around here? 23738 Perhaps you felt that shake- up, a quarter- hour ago?
23738	Phil, do you put scent on your handkerchief week days as well as Sundays?
23738	Phil, will you come home to your father and mother, and consider all this a bit more before you decide?
23738	Puny earth- dweller, lost here,Its menace breathed,"what keeps you from destruction?
23738	Puny from of old, how should you prevail? 23738 Pygmy, will you think of another pygmy now?"
23738	Real? 23738 Really?"
23738	See how nice?
23738	Someone from your home town or your college town?
23738	The book?
23738	The convent?
23738	The door is barred, but what shall bar out the Enemy who creeps to the nine lamps? 23738 The lake, Vere?
23738	Then my nightmare was real? 23738 Then you are still happy?"
23738	Then-- were they pretty dreadful to you at home?
23738	Unless you are afraid I shall disturb your canaries?
23738	Unless you have a choice?
23738	Unless you wish me to go?
23738	Vere, in your varied experiences in peace and war, did you ever chance to meet a coward?
23738	Vere,I said abruptly,"did you know that I thought you were going to desert the farm, when you began to speak?"
23738	Vere?
23738	Was it?
23738	Was there something I can do for you?
23738	We are n''t ever going to give up?
23738	Well, Vere?
23738	Well?
23738	What can I tell you? 23738 What crouches behind her, unseen?
23738	What danger?
23738	What did you think?
23738	What does Vere say?
23738	What gates?
23738	What gates?
23738	What have I to do with It, who am more helpless before It than you? 23738 What have I to do with Sir Austin, or he with me?"
23738	What is happening outdoors?
23738	What kind of a place?
23738	What were the noises I heard from the lake, and the shocks we all felt?
23738	What? 23738 What?
23738	What? 23738 Where are you going?"
23738	Where did you buy it, Cousin Roger? 23738 Who are you?"
23738	Who are''we''?
23738	Who is she? 23738 Who is?"
23738	Who was she?
23738	Why can you not come again?
23738	Why do you tempt me?
23738	Why does It hate me?
23738	Why have you not spoken of this before?
23738	Why not, Vere?
23738	Why not? 23738 Why not?"
23738	Why not?
23738	Why not?
23738	Why, how did your lazy, tune- spinning, frivolous cousin get that reputation in this branch of the family?
23738	Why? 23738 Why?
23738	Will it make them lay?
23738	Will you die, then? 23738 Will you give it to me?"
23738	Will you go to my chiffonier, there in the alcove, and bring a package wrapped in white silk from the top drawer?
23738	Will you meet Phillida at the Grand Central and bring her home? 23738 Will you read, aloud, sir?"
23738	Wo n''t you drink the brandy, please? 23738 Would you hear a story of a woman of my house, and her anger, before you doubt too far?"
23738	Would you not live, pygmy?
23738	Would you take the witch- child to your hearth? 23738 Yes, Roger?"
23738	You believe my story, then? 23738 You came from there?"
23738	You do n''t care for the lake?
23738	You do not find it lonely here, or in any way depressing?
23738	You had no luncheon, you say?
23738	You like the place, Phil?
23738	You mean-- hypnotism?
23738	You observe that I have explained every point raised, Miss Michell''s testimony being of the vaguest?
23738	You read of the Thing----?
23738	You saw her?
23738	You served in the war?
23738	You trust him so much?
23738	You understand, Cousin Roger? 23738 You who have felt Its grope toward your inner spirit?"
23738	You will not?
23738	You would n''t bolt from it, either, would you?
23738	You would not leave me alone in this place, Cousin?
23738	You''ll do it?
23738	You-- value the braid so much?
23738	You? 23738 You?"
23738	Your father?
23738	Your own theory, sir, being----?
23738	_ But what crouches behind her, unseen? 23738 ''Measure a thousand times, and cut once?'' 23738 A clue? 23738 A healthy, normal life? 23738 A spirit or a woman? 23738 A thing of flesh and blood, or clever mechanism? 23738 A truth hinted at by alchemists, Pythagoreans, Rosicrucians, pale students of sorcery and magnificent charlatans, these many centuries? 23738 After all, why? 23738 All this eagerness pressing forward-- where? 23738 Already I had forced my way-- where? 23738 An embarrassment to her family, the heroine of a stolen marriage and Reno freedom, what chance of happiness would she have in her conventional circle? 23738 And Desire? 23738 And who has drawn back, Breaker of the Law? 23738 And why did not Phillida and Ethan suffer the nightmare with me?
23738	And why was its owner locked in silence and immobility?
23738	And, why?"
23738	And-- a new thought!--was she alone in the house?
23738	And-- and, will you tell Father and Mother?"
23738	Are n''t you working yourself too hard?
23738	Are there any interesting stories about the house?
23738	Are we not pleasantly urged out of our heroics and into the normal by breakfast, luncheon and dinner?
23738	Are you quite well?
23738	Are you sure you can not help me at all?
23738	Are you-- did I wake you up?
23738	As for the book''s existence, I had only to accept guidance from It----?
23738	As for the hair, is n''t that a matter of bottled polish and hairdressers?
23738	At the fire on the hearth or the cold phosphorescence of swamp and marsh?
23738	Basil, maybe?"
23738	Because he had the glamour about him of real adventure and cabaret glitter?
23738	Because he is strong and supple and has curly hair?
23738	Before you go upstairs to him, will you tell me where to find that bookcase?"
23738	Books or newspapers?"
23738	Both; as each time before?
23738	Brown like forest water, sort of green- lighted because the bottom is like turf; neither mud nor sand, but a kind of under- water moss?
23738	But can you conquer again, and again, and again?
23738	But does that sort of thing matter to you women?
23738	But how can either you or I forgive the cruelty that took it from its owner?
23738	But is there no knowledge not yet commonplace?
23738	But now, what of Desire Michell?
23738	But she has to come to me; it''s her right, do n''t you think?
23738	But surely the lady was not vanished like the nightmare?
23738	But the telephone wire came across the place right past the garage, you know----""The tree tore the wire down, too?"
23738	But what sane man had nightmares like these?
23738	But what was That just vanishing into the darkness beyond my window- sill?
23738	But where, then, was I next to seek?
23738	But you will admit the provocation to my curiosity?
23738	But you, so rich in all things, free and happy-- how should it matter to you if a voice in the dark speaks or is silent?
23738	But, are you fairy or automaton?"
23738	But, how did she know of the Thing''s visit to me?
23738	But-- in what land unknown to man towered the vast mountains in whose shadow I panted and strove?
23738	But-- one servant?
23738	By what swollen conceit could I hope to win against Them?
23738	CHAPTER XVII"They say-- What say they?
23738	Ca n''t we, Drawls?"
23738	Could I bear the agony of Its presence, the stench of death and corruption that was Its atmosphere?
23738	Could I care for this matter while I was here?
23738	Could I meet that Thing tonight, and tomorrow night?
23738	Could anyone fail to be pleased with that most magnificent braid?
23738	Could n''t a note be left for her, telling her to come to us?"
23738	Could that be what Desire had meant me to understand?
23738	Could this rest and calm hold me content here, where I had meant merely to pause and pass on?
23738	Cousin Roger----?"
23738	Creature of clay, crumbling now in the sea of mortality, do you brave my immemorial age?"
23738	Desire Michell, what has the Horror to do with you?"
23738	Desire of mine and of the unhuman Thing, did we grasp at Eve or Lilith?
23738	Did I fear to know the truth?
23738	Did I hear a movement, or only a stirring of the orchard trees beyond the windows?
23738	Did I imagine a slight uneasiness in those eyes, a wary readiness in gathered limbs and muscles bulking under the old cat''s scant fur?
23738	Did I not hear a wistful reluctance in her tone?
23738	Did Phillida allow him in the house, or not?
23738	Did Something uprear Itself out there in the black fog?
23738	Did Vere comprehend me better?
23738	Did anything slip out over the window- sill when you were waking up?"
23738	Did n''t you know that?"
23738	Did the others share my repugnance?
23738	Did the wind wake you, too?
23738	Did you actually know what Roger experienced in these excursions before he told you of them?"
23738	Did you measure it?"
23738	Do n''t you know, Cousin Roger, that the most important things in the world are those most people never know about?"
23738	Do not Ennemoser and many writers record it?"
23738	Do you have to write your lovely music at night, Cousin Roger?
23738	Do you not know what it means to take a gift from the Dark Ones of the Borderland?
23738	Do you see nothing there stranger than a path through the woods even when trodden by a wilful woman?"
23738	Do you think Mother and he ever will, Cousin Roger?"
23738	Do-- do I look queer, Cousin?
23738	Down-- shall your race affront mine?"
23738	Drawls, will you light the alcohol lamp on the tea- table?
23738	Eight hours?
23738	Ethan?
23738	Even in your world, does not evil hate good as naturally as good recoils from evil?
23738	Even with your voice in the dark?
23738	Flight?
23738	For none of these reasons?
23738	For what?
23738	For what?
23738	For whom?"
23738	Good heavens, Vere, do you realize what either life would be for an nineteen- year- old girl brought up as she has been?"
23738	Ha, was not Beauty the lure, and shall it not be the vengeance?
23738	Had I brought with me or did I hear now a whispered:"_ Pygmy, again!_""Cousin, Cousin, are you very ill?"
23738	Had I called or cried out?
23738	Had I fallen so low as to heed the caprices of a pet cat?
23738	Had I met one of these beings, inimical to man as a cobra, intelligent as man, hunting Its victim by methods unknown to us?
23738	Had any of us the right to lay hands upon her existence and mould it to our fancy?
23738	Had not my weeks of endurance earned me this right?
23738	Had she a home, or did she need one?
23738	Had the girl told the truth in her wild explanation?
23738	Had the old- world trinket been left to bewilder me?
23738	Had we ever really expected to go?
23738	Had you chosen the place, or shall I?"
23738	Have I not a right to curiosity?
23738	Have I not brought my presence to the magician''s lamp?
23738	Have I not injured you?"
23738	Have I not shadowed the alchemist at his crucible?
23738	Have you forgotten, Roger, that my life is not mine?
23738	Have you not opened your mind to the evil thoughts that creep upon the citadel of strength within and tear down its power?
23738	Have you not taken my gift that you might spy meanly on the secret of your beloved?
23738	Have you read the writings of the learned Jew or of the Platonist, you who are so very bold?"
23738	Have you seen it?"
23738	Have you the power?
23738	Have you, then, measured Nature?
23738	He asked me:"Shall I get you out of this room?"
23738	He is deceiving us, or mad''?"
23738	Here, where It glooms, you have dared bring the high joy of the artist who creates?
23738	How came a book to be written about the girl I supposed young, unknown and set apart from the world?
23738	How can I describe the certainty of life that possessed me?
23738	How can I find her?
23738	How can I tell of a love that grew without sight?
23738	How can you?
23738	How convey to a listener that, understanding her so little, I yet knew her so well?
23738	How could I do harm by learning what she was, unless she had evil to conceal?
23738	How could I trust my enemy?
23738	How could they feel what I had felt?
23738	How dared I even hope for her return?
23738	How did I know It stalked no prey but me?
23738	How did I know this?
23738	How did it come to trail across my bed, in any case?
23738	How do some lucky girls have hair like that?
23738	How do you know what passes between the Thing from the Frontier and me?"
23738	How do you like your place?"
23738	How does that strike you?"
23738	How free us both?
23738	How had she seen him?
23738	How had they found out my condition?
23738	How have you challenged and mocked It this very night?
23738	How is that, Miss Michell?
23738	How many men are written down liars because they traveled in strange lands indeed, and explorers, strove to report what they had seen?
23738	How shall I describe Fear incarnate?
23738	How should I find her?
23738	How should I find words to embody it?
23738	How, I wondered, could anyone be expected to credit the story I had to tell?
23738	How, unless she too----?
23738	I guess you like to do it, though?
23738	I have one of the electric flashlights you bought for us all; see?"
23738	I wonder, then, if you would mind if we stopped to see a show that I especially want to look over, for business reasons?
23738	I''d like to know where a young city feller like you got that old story from?"
23738	If I did meet her, would she forgive me the loss of her braid?
23738	If I should speak, what would she do?
23738	If I stood firm----?
23738	If It did----?
23738	If Phillida refused to consent to a divorce, how could she live at home as the wife of a man her parents had pronounced unfit to receive?
23738	If she was the woman that she had seemed to be throughout our intercourse, how could the dark enemy control her?
23738	If she yielded and gave up Vere, would she be much better off?
23738	If so, which one would come first, and what might be my measure of success or failure?
23738	If something moved under the water----?
23738	If the monster is a ghost thing, may not she be one, too?
23738	If the trial had been hard when mercifully unanticipated, what would it be to meet my enemy now that I knew myself conquered?
23738	If we are to believe in such things at all----?
23738	If we are to help each other, as I hope, would not plain openness be best?
23738	If, therefore, ye shall have prepared yourselves, yet may escape----_"What did they mean, the old, old words men have rejected?
23738	In town?
23738	In what madness of panic had the girl sacrificed this beauty?
23738	Is he not a soldier who, aroused in the night to meet dreadful assault, sets his face to the enemy and battles front to front?
23738	Is n''t a braid of hair this wide,"I laid off the dimensions on the table,"this long, and thick, a good deal for a woman to own?"
23738	Just us?"
23738	Just-- curiosity?"
23738	Light quietly filled the lamps-- or was it that I had opened my eyes?
23738	Like a kind of earthquake, or the kick from a big explosion a long ways off?
23738	Locke?"
23738	Locke?"
23738	Locke?"
23738	Locke?"
23738	Locke_ stage?"
23738	May I not take her to dinner here in town?"
23738	May I take her to tea, between trains, and get out to your place on the six o''clock express?"
23738	May I?
23738	No applause, no lights, no stage?"
23738	No?"
23738	Now tell me with what eyes you have seen the Barrier and the Far Frontier?
23738	Now that you have seen him, you do understand?
23738	Now that you know, can you bear with a man who-- limps?
23738	Now, is n''t that a jumbled speech to tumble out of me?"
23738	Now---- She spoke with a breathless difficulty, spacing her words apart:"How did you-- find-- the book?"
23738	Of what?
23738	Oh man, with all the unfathomed universe about us,_ dare_ you pronounce what is real?"
23738	Once frightened away, how could she be found?
23738	Only my ignorance?
23738	Only, do tell me what the perfume is?"
23738	Only, real in what sense?
23738	Only, what was his object?
23738	Only, what was she about to do?
23738	Or because he took you away from a life you hated?
23738	Or did she doubt my intentions, and was her quietness that of one on guard?
23738	Or if he had not seen It, how did he know this room was an unsafe area?
23738	Or perhaps you did not know that?"
23738	Or was I still dreaming?
23738	Or was it tinged with auburn?
23738	Or was my foot indeed upon the mountain itself?
23738	Or, could she?
23738	Or, if you will agree not to escape----?"
23738	Or, perhaps, because he is kind and loves you?
23738	Past?
23738	Perhaps you might seem at last a phantom of my own sick brain to which faithfulness would be folly?
23738	Perhaps you produced it?"
23738	Perhaps, with patience----?
23738	Perhaps----Have you told Vere about the woman who visited this room, the first night I spent in the house?
23738	Please me?
23738	Please, may I?
23738	Please, please----?"
23738	Pure?
23738	Repudiate my violence and me-- perhaps go back to her hiding- place?
23738	Shall we go down to Phillida?"
23738	Shall we go in to Phillida?"
23738	She was a witch?"
23738	She was wrapped in a lot of floating thin stuff; gray, I guess?
23738	Should I ever see my Lady of the Beautiful Tresses come that way, or travel that road to where she lived?
23738	Should I not rather stand on this my ground where I was not the"lame feller"?
23738	So one wrote:''_ There is neither crystallomancy nor hydromancy, but the magick is in the Seer himself._''""Well, Desire?"
23738	Still, if such gifts were given as she believed, if it was merely a question of being Ethan Vere-- or Roger Locke----?
23738	Suppose our escape succeeded?
23738	Suppose she had fainted?
23738	Suppose she never came again?
23738	Suppose the episode was ended?
23738	Suppose we sit here together, strong in numbers, for the few hours until daylight?
23738	Surely I should find her in some neighbor''s daughter, when my house was finished and I went there for the summer?
23738	That I am a prisoner who has crept out for a little while?
23738	That braid?"
23738	The Horror or the lady?
23738	The Thing will come, and not you?"
23738	The Thing-- the enemy that comes to me has never spoken to you?"
23738	The breach of promise suits, and the couples who make each other miserable?"
23738	The danger, then, was only for me?
23738	The dark creature claimed her, she declared herself helpless to escape from that dominion into normal life, and yet It never had spoken to her?
23738	The darkness had been only for my eyes, then?
23738	The eyes of the body, or that vision by which man sees in a dream and which is to the sight as the speech of spirits is to the hearing?"
23738	The perfumed bronze- colored braid up in my drawer----?
23738	The water you have just tasted is pure and clear in the glass?
23738	The woman?
23738	There is n''t enough water- power over the dam to do any more than run a toy, is there?"
23738	There is no newcomer in the neighborhood, no visitor at any house who might be the one I am looking for?"
23738	This darling house?
23738	To fly from my place now, herded like a cowardly sheep by the Thing of the Frontier, would that not be to thrust her away to save myself?
23738	Under what circumstances did she dwell?
23738	Very original, is it not?
23738	Was I a cheated fool, or a pioneer on the borders of a new country?
23738	Was I confronted with two beings from places unknown to normal humanity?
23738	Was I letting slip an opportunity by my fastidious notions of delicacy?
23738	Was I then fighting for Desire Michell?
23738	Was I to fall as low as that?
23738	Was I to lose my self- respect also?
23738	Was I to run a beaten man from this peril, after standing against my enemy so long?
23738	Was I wrong in fancying the sigh regretful?
23738	Was Phillida''s charming wish to become a fact, I wondered?
23738	Was entrance into human air open to the alien Thing only through the ruins of the house where It had first been called by the sorceress of long ago?
23738	Was it mere slavishness of mind on my part not to overrule her timid will?
23738	Was it not enough that I had fled from my enemy after accepting the knowledge It had striven so long to force upon me?
23738	Was it not time?
23738	Was it too late for my Desire to come, and time for the coming of that Other?
23738	Was she one of those who have stepped from the permitted places?
23738	Was she trying to turn me from my purpose with her soft speech?
23738	Was some dark bulk just fading from beyond my window?
23738	Was that the lake which stirred in the windless night?
23738	Was there indeed some quality of courage----?
23738	We could come out on the theatre express; as we have done before, you remember?"
23738	Well, I had seen her at last-- but how?
23738	Well, was I to run away, hands over my eyes, at the first alarm?
23738	Well, where does poor Phil go, and when?"
23738	Were those a woman''s draperies or part of the night fog that showed mere swirl upon swirl of pale gray twisting in the path of light?
23738	Were you ill?"
23738	Were you not under eighteen years old?"
23738	What are the wars of man with man, compared with a man''s battle against the Unknown?
23738	What bond held her subject to the Thing from the Barrier?
23738	What can I offer her that I have not offered?
23738	What connection could its Desire Michell have with the girl I knew?
23738	What could I tell her of my vision of her womanly softness and timidity brought to bay by the Thing of horror, down in those empty lower rooms?
23738	What could they have in common?
23738	What did I hold in my arms?
23738	What did I know of this man, or where he would take her?
23738	What did I see, starting out of the black gloom?
23738	What distinguished me from a thousand men she might meet on any city street?
23738	What do you love Vere for, at bottom?
23738	What footing was here for dreary terrors?
23738	What formed there, more inhuman from Its likeness to humanity?
23738	What gates were to close between us?
23738	What good might I not do her?
23738	What had Hermas glimpsed in his visions?
23738	What had I ever said worth note in the hours we had spent together?
23738	What harm could I do Desire by this plan of Vere''s?
23738	What if she did go home?
23738	What if we came to an explanation tonight and ended this long delirium?
23738	What interest had my lady of the dark in elaborately deceiving me?
23738	What is real?"
23738	What is that motive?"
23738	What is the long dead Desire Michell to you?"
23738	What malignant glare seared disappointment and grim promise across my consciousness?
23738	What moves It against me?"
23738	What of her knowledge of that same nightmare?
23738	What of the legend of her family so exactly coinciding with all I felt?
23738	What other shapes of dread stalked and watched beyond that titanic wall?
23738	What reason have you for desperate action?
23738	What remained to be done?
23738	What responsibility was I assuming in letting my little- girl cousin go like this?
23738	What sense of humor can view too intensely a creature who must feed himself three times a day?
23738	What sent you to me?"
23738	What should I say to Desire Michell if she came tonight?
23738	What should loom so tall?
23738	What stirred at this empty hour?
23738	What time does her train get in?"
23738	What was to become of this girl?
23738	What were you looking for, just now, behind you?"
23738	What would you have from me?
23738	What, then?"
23738	When I could, I asked:"Married legally, beyond mistake?
23738	When she was across the room, I asked quietly:"What was it, Vere?
23738	Where are their abodes?
23738	Where could such a volume be hidden, in what secret nook in wall or floor?
23738	Where did she live?
23738	Where is Vere?"
23738	Where was that Barrier before which I had stood?
23738	Where-- when can I see you in daylight?"
23738	Where-- where were you going to take me?"
23738	Who and what was the girl Desire Michell whom I had come to love through a more profound darkness than that of the sight?
23738	Who are you?
23738	Who before me had stood at the Barrier and set foot on the Frontier between the worlds?
23738	Who could the woman be who brought that costly fragrance into a deserted farmhouse?
23738	Who cut her hair and left the braid in my hand to escape from me?"
23738	Who was she, who was claimed by the Unspeakable and who did not deny Its claim?
23738	Who was she?
23738	Who would keep tryst with me tonight?
23738	Who, then, was my guest?
23738	Whose gentle pity had brought this pomander to my pillow, to help me from that faintness which had followed my struggle with the Thing?
23738	Whose was the exquisite, individual fragrance contained in the ball I held?
23738	Why could she not put her hand in mine, any night, and let me take her away from this haunted place?
23738	Why did you cut it off?"
23738	Why had I not put my question to our rural mail deliverer in the beginning?
23738	Why had a peculiar horror crept through me when Mrs. Hill told me what ruins that water covered?
23738	Why muffle her identity in mystery?
23738	Why not drive out to my new house this evening and sleep tonight in the rosewood- furnished bedroom?
23738	Why not, when all things are still equally wonderful to it?
23738	Why should he ask that, since the spectre was for me alone?
23738	Why should you die?"
23738	Why speak of anger or forgiveness?
23738	Why the indefinable quaintness of language, the choice of words that made her speech so different from even the college- bred Phillida''s?
23738	Why was the fog against the windows this morning so like the fog that shrouded the unearthly sea opposite the Barrier?
23738	Why, and by whom?
23738	Why, at least, not come to me in the light, and let me see her face to face?
23738	Why, she changed her name to one fancier that you might have heard talk of?
23738	Why, then, love Ethan Vere?"
23738	Why, would you have me live all the years to come in doubt whether you were a woman or a dream?
23738	Why?
23738	Why?
23738	Why?
23738	Why?
23738	Why?"
23738	Why?"
23738	Why?"
23738	Why?"
23738	Why?"
23738	Will you believe there is no risk that I would not take for a few hours with you?
23738	Will you not be worn down by the Thing that knows no weariness and fall its prey at last?"
23738	Will you not feel strength fail, health break, madness creep close?
23738	Will you put a match to it, please?"
23738	Will you take me where I say, this one time?"
23738	Would It not deliberately forestall Desire''s coming, tonight?
23738	Would morning find me so?
23738	Would she spring up and escape?
23738	Would she stay?
23738	Would she thank me, or would she reply with some eccentricity unpredictable as her whim to tell me that tale?
23738	Would the creature from the Barrier have appeared to me, if I had not known her?
23738	Would you believe a thing because I told it to you?
23738	Would you care for him as an ordinary, hard- working fellow in a pair of overalls and a flannel shirt?
23738	Would you challenge me?
23738	Would you have had me leave without meeting you again, neither thanking you nor asking your forgiveness?"
23738	Would you rather go upstairs and lie down, and not hear any more of this stuff tonight?"
23738	Would you see the Eyes once seen by the witch- woman, who fell blasted out of human ken?
23738	Would you watch a man enter a jungle where some hideous beast crouched in ambush, while you neither warned nor armed him?
23738	Writer, ai n''t you?
23738	Yet what could that vague and learned gentleman do that I could not?
23738	Yet, what safety lies in secrecy between us?
23738	Yet, what was I to think?
23738	You are looking at me so----?"
23738	You are so good that you should be happy, but-- are you?"
23738	You did that fatal madness-- and you are here?
23738	You do not mean to leave the farm?"
23738	You do not think me suffering from delusions?"
23738	You know Mis''Royal Hill?
23738	You know now that I belong to It by heritage?
23738	You know why we can never be together as you planned?
